Bleche wite tire cleaner and a scrub brush for the plastics and hoses, and no touch tire foam. It would be a good time to check over your hoses etc.

What's a good way to check hoses? Just a visual aspect?

Warm engine and simple green and good water pressure! Has always done the trick for me!

Are there things I shouldn't spray with the hose? (i.e. alternator, distributor, etc.)

As long as the engine isn't hot and you don't get right up next to the distributor you'll be fine

I'd replace every belt and hose. Cheap insurance.
